A must-see for travel lovers! 12 recommended guesthouses in Miyagi Prefecture


Tohoku is a region that attracts many travelers, and there are many attractive guesthouses in each prefecture.

Miyagi Prefecture is full of guesthouses that you should definitely stay at, so this time I'll introduce some recommended guesthouses in Miyagi Prefecture.

With the number of travelers increasing since the end of the pandemic, I would be happy if even one person reads this article and decides to take a trip.

[Shiogama City] Roopt Shiogama Kaigan-dori

Guesthouses are a type of accommodation that has its own unique charm, distinct from traditional hotels and resorts.

Guesthouses have these kinds of charms.

① Often cheaper than hotels.

Depending on the guesthouse, one of its attractions is that it's often cheaper than staying in a hotel.

When you're staying for more than one night, or moving from place to place, cheap accommodation is a welcome sight for travelers.

For detailed pricing information, please check the website of each guesthouse.

② Interactions with travelers and local residents are fostered.

Guesthouses are characterized by the fact that travelers from all over Japan, and even the world, gather there, and they are also open to the local community, so interactions naturally occur.

Many travelers become familiar with the area after returning multiple times, and eventually blend into the local community.

That's a charm you won't find in hotels or guesthouses.

③ Each guesthouse has its own unique character.

Each guesthouse has a different interior and exterior design, as well as a unique community atmosphere, and this individuality is one of its charms.

Finding your favorite guesthouse as you travel is one of the great joys of traveling.

12 Recommended Guesthouses in Miyagi Prefecture

Now, let's introduce some recommended share houses in Miyagi Prefecture.

Each guesthouse has its own unique features, so try to find one that suits your preferences.

[Kesennuma City] SLOW HOUSE

SLOW HOUSE is a guesthouse that opened in 2022 in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture, after renovating an empty house.

As the name suggests, this guesthouse is themed around "slowness," creating a place where you can slowly reflect on your own sense of fulfillment and meet trustworthy companions.

The owner of SLOW HOUSE actively welcomes young people who "want to do something but have no idea where to start," calling them "houseguests," and actively provides them with opportunities for activities and connections with other people.

One of them, as of 2023, is the community manager for SLOW HOUSE and is in charge of preparing breakfast for guests, and even holds pop-up cafes in the local area on an irregular basis.

By the way, SLOW HOUSE's Instagram is interesting and has content that appeals to young people, so you should definitely check that out too.

[Kesennuma City] Kesennuma Guesthouse "Kakehashi"

Located in Kesennuma City, "Kesennuma Guesthouse 'Kakehashi'" (hereinafter referred to as "Kakehashi") is a guesthouse that serves as a "bridge" for all kinds of people who gather in Kesennuma, just as its tagline says: "In an atmosphere that feels like everyday life, travelers, locals, and newcomers alike can mingle, talk, and connect."

Because we value interaction over meals, we have eliminated the room-only plan and operate as a guesthouse where "everyone eats dinner together," including locals.

Also, since spring 2023, they have had a note account, and I personally like their poetic writing style; it makes me want to meet the person behind it.

If you're planning a stay in Kesennuma, be sure to consider Kakehashi (the bridge).

It's also famous as a guesthouse with many fans, so much so that some people are so impressed by Umebachi that they aspire to open their own guesthouse.

This guesthouse is appealing because there are no barriers between guests and staff, and even first-time visitors can interact with them like friends.

Located in the convenient city of Sendai, it's a popular stopover point for cyclists and bikers, and is a favorite among travelers.
